Specification of Letters Patent. Patentedjs ept. 22, 1914:

Application filed July 19, 1913. Serial No. 779,959.

To all whom it may} concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE CUGLEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in heaters, especially adaptedi'or incubators.

The object of my invention is to provide a heater which will be soconstructed as t eliminate all danger from fire.

A -more particular object or my invention is to provide a heater inwhich a permanently fixed support is provided for the lamp and to soarrange the other parts that the lamp may bereadily removed andreplaced. i

A. further object of the invention is'to simplify and make moreeffective devicesof this character. N r

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 isa side elevation of a deviceembodying myimprovements showing the parts in position for use. Fig. 2is also a side elevation but showing the parts in a position to permitthe removal or replacing of the lamp. Fig. 3 is a vertical. section ofthe heater showing the lamp in position therein.

1 Like parts are represented by similar characters of reference in theseveral views Inappa-ratus of this character, one of the forms of heatcirculating devices employed consists of a boiler formed with an opencentral portion, and there is also employed for generating the heat, anoil lamp, the chimney of which extends'up through the open centralportion or theboiler, in consequence of which it has previously beennecessary to support the heating device upon a removable base in orderthat it may be dropped down sufliciently to permit its flue to clear theparts of the heat circulating device upon being removed or replaced. Inorder that it may be readily accomplished it has also been common toattach this removable heater support with the main casing of theapparatus in a manner to permit the ready detachment of the parts, suchas by spring catches. Such a manner of supporting the heater, however,is dangerous and has been condemned for the reason that the parts areliable to become detached, allowing the heater to fall and therebycausing fire. In order to overcome this Oh 1 jection I have provided apermanent support for the lamp and devised other means for permittingthe removal and replacement of the same.

In the accompanying drawings, 1 represents a main casing of theusualdesign, having an open side and also provided with earsfZby which it maybe connected with the wall a of the incubator or other device with whichthe heater is used. The heat circulating .device, in the present case isa boiler, and its jacket. The boiler is represented by 3 and is of theusual construction in that it'has an open central portion and an annularwater space to which are connected the usual circulating pipes 3 Thisboiler is removably supported within the b01161 acket 1, which 13provided Wlilll a series of ribs 5 to provide a spacebetween the acketand the boiler for the c1rculat1on of the heat. The jacket in thepresent case. differs from the style of jackets heretofore employed inthat it has a telescoping portion a formed with a central upwardly extending fine 6;; the part 4 of the jacket being permanently attached atits upper outturned end to the upper end of the casing 1 so as tomake itimmovable or stationary. The two parts ofthe jacket are arranged to beconnected together by a bayonet joint as shown in Figs. 1 and 2; theupper stationary member of the jacket having a laterally projecting pin7, and the lower movable portion of the jacket having a slot 8 reachedby a flaring mouthed opening 9 so that the removable portion may behooked over the pin in the manner shown in Fig. 2 to hold the removableportion in raised position. p

The lower portion of the main casing 1 has riveted thereto a bottomportion 10 which has two cross members 11 which form a support for theheating device, in the present case a lamp 12. This lamp 12 is of anysuitable form but in the present case is provided with a short chimney13 over which the flue portion 6 of the boiler jacket is adapted totelescope so as to form a continuation of the chimney and in effect apart thereof. p

In the operation of the device, when it is desired to remove the lampthe movable portion 4 of the boiler jacket is raised and suspended onthe pin 7 as shown in Fig. 1. This disconnects the lamp chimney and flueportion 6 and permits the lamp to be re moved through the open side ofthe casing 1. Upon replacing the lamp, the portion 4 is disconnectedfrom the pin 7 and slid downwardly on the permanent portion 4: until theflue portion 6 telescopes the short is of sheet metal of graduallydecreasing diameter toward the top so; that it not only provides asupport for the movable portion 4? of the boiler jacket but alsoprovides a more or less tight joint between its upper end and the flueportion 6 and permits the ready telescoping of the parts. a

By this construction it will beseen that the supports 11 for the lampare permanent c supports in'that they are permanently-fixed to themaincasing 1, thus obviating all danger of the lamp falling out of thedevice when in use, and at the same timemeans are provided forpermitting the ready removal and replacing of the lamp.

"Having thus described my invention, I

claim":

Copies/of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressingthe T Washington, .D. G..

. In a heating apparatus, a boiler formed stationary, I a flue carriedvby the movable portion of said boiler jacket and entering the opencentral portion of said boiler, a

heater, a permanent support'for said heater, and a flue connected withsaid heater and adapted to telescope with said-boiler jacket chimney 13.This short chimney portion l3 flue l l said boiler jacket having amovable telescopic portion, a boiler formed with an open central portionsupported in said jacket, a

support at the lower end of the main casing for said heater; and a 'flueconnected with said heater adapted to telescope withflthe said boilerjacket flue. I

4. In a heating apparatus, a main casing, a boilerjacket connected withsaid casing,

said boiler jacket having agmovable telescopic portion,'a boiler formedwith an open central portionsupported in sa1d acket, a heater, apermanent support at the lower end of said main casing for saidheater,'anda= 3. In a heating apparatus, amain casing, a boiler acketconnected with; said casing,

flue connected with thevmov'able' portion of 7 said jacket and adaptedto communicate" with said heater, said fine extending into the opencentral portion-of said boiler;
